The way I see it you follow a team either from a particular personal connection, a geographical one or an expressed preference for style/glory etc at a young age (hence the cyclical popularity of certain teams: Leeds for my Dad's generation, Liverpool for the next, United for the next and so on). Rasta, CHD and 5Star all likely fall in to one of the last two categories.
You're not Glaswegian and are too young to remember when Scottish football was really quite good to watch so I assume it's a particular personal connection. Other than the very much pro-Irish element of the club I don't see what that could be and I was genuinely asking the question.
The short answer to your question is Chris Morris, Packie Bonner and Mick McCarthy.
If you'd prefer to get angry again instead then so be it but perhaps, all other things aside, we had best leave it there eh? Wouldn't want to be accused of being smug for asking a simple question again.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

I have it on good authority (Keane) that Strewelpeter is one of the most feared men in Africa. His name still instils terror and religious incantations into the good people of the Kampala passport office.
Sure he's raffling off an iPad. But he doesn't mention that the second raffle is to choose who has to be his concubine for the trip (regardless of gender) with widespread rumours that he subsequently eats them. The strings some of the government officials in Africa try to pull to prevent him from obtaining travel documents in Ireland in legendary.
And let's not even talk about the Cameroon quality of milk massacre of 2009.

Originally posted by Zod View PostI may have took you up wrong, but given your previous imput on this topic you can hardly blame me if I thought that was the direction you were going in.
The short answer to your question is Chris Morris, Packie Bonner and Mick McCarthy.
I'm not angry, nor do I get angry. Do I feel aggrieved at times? yes, but certainly no more than what I'm responding to merits.
By the by I think your reason for supporting Celtic makes sense even if what I think doesn't actually matter in that regard it was a matter of curiosity that I asked. Didn't realise you thought I was attacking Celtic. I just didn't understand it is all.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

In an surprise move, industry-leader PokerStars has reached an agreement with the US DOJ to purchase long-time rival Full Tilt Poker and settle its outstanding legal matters.
PokerStars has reached a settlement with the US Department of Justice, pokerfuse can reveal. Part of the deal involves the purchase of Full Tilt Poker and full repayment of all players.
The specifics of the deal are not yet known, and no statement has yet come from any parties involved.
Rumors that PokerStars has reached a deal with the DOJ to purchase Full Tilt Poker began swirling early Tuesday morning on poker forum 2+2. Sources have corroborated the story with Pokerfuse that a deal has indeed been reached but could not confirm any specific details.
Alex Dreyfus, CEO of Chili Gaming, stated on twitter that PokerStars has paid $750m to acquire Full Tilt and settle its outstanding legal issues with the DOJ. A reported $330m of that price will go to repay Full Tilt account holders with the remainder believed to be in settlement of outstanding charges against PokerStars.
Until now, French investment group Group Bernard Tapie were known to be in late-stage talks. According to sources at e-Gaming Magazine, “efforts to obtain final DoJ approval to acquire the assets of Full Tilt Poker have ended without success,” and that the deal was “sabbotaged,” according to iGamingFrance.
As a point of comparison, PartyGaming (now known as bwin.party) co-founder Anurag Dikshit agreed to a plea deal with the DOJ in 2008 for a total of $300. In 2009, payment processor Neteller settled for $136m.
However, the charges facing Scheinberg are more serious. The allusive billionaire, along with an otherwise unknown Isle of Man resident Paul Tate, are charged under violation of the UIGEA, operation of an illegal gambling business, and conspiracy to commit bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.
According to the unconfirmed reports on 2+2, PokerStars plans to bring Full Tilt Poker back online, and maintain separate sites.

Was having a look at the Eurovision betting market on betfair, listened to a few songs.
Decided it would be remiss of me to not consider the outsiders considering that Italy came pretty close to winning last year with a song that apparently traded at 1000/1.
Checked out the first 1000/1 song that presented itself:
Georgia's 2012 Eurovision Song Contest entry Anri Jokhadze performers "I'm A Jocker" in the national final on Febuary 19th.
fml, I lasted till 1.21.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

Booked this for 22nd June for the westlife concert, all hotels are either booked out or huge money, there are 5 or 6 of us going so this seems pretty good unless anyone would like to put us up.
Could you walk to Croke park from here?
